Focused Run FAQ

Focused Run FAQ

SAP Focused Run is a spin-off from SAP Solution Manager concentrating on the specific needs of high volume system and application monitoring, alerting and analytics needs. It is a powerful solution for service providers,who want to host all their customers in a central, scalable, safe, and automated environment. It also addresses customers with advanced needsregarding system management, user monitoring, integration monitoring, and configuration & security analytics.

Focused Run is based on SAP HANA database. It provides different use cases with different scaling factors. Appropriately, we selected the SAP HANA memory that is consumed in total by all focused run use cases as the only criteria for calculating the license fee. One gigabyte of consumed SAP HANA memory translates in one ordered focused run unit.

We are offering to conduct a Focused Run introduction session followed by a Focused Run positioning workshop. Based on this, we will provide you with a detailed and functional architecture overview, scoping for your concrete situation, appropriate hardware sizing, as well as a calculation of the HANA used memory consumption. You can then contact your SAP sales representative to send you a quotation based on your specific SAP licensing conditions.

No. You can distribute your acquired units over different installed systems, but the total amount of used SAP HANA memory across all systems cannot exceed your ordered volume. By distributing Focused Run units over different systems it is to be expected that more HANA memory will be used than running all units in one system.

No. The calculation of the used SAP HANA memory is only relevant for the productively used focused run systems. No additional focused run units are needed for development or quality-assurance systems. However, you are not allowed to run only non-productive focused run systems.
